wide as the wind, and our eternal home.
God leaves us free to seek him or reject him;
he gives us room to answer "yes" or "no."
Refrain:
The love of God is broad like beach and meadow,
wide as the wind, and an eternal home.
2 We long for freedom where our truest being
is given hope and courage to unfold.
We seek in freedom space and scope for dreaming,
and look for ground where trees and plants can grow. [Refrain]
3 But there are walls that keep us all divided;
we fence each other in with hate and war.
Fear is the bricks and mortar of our prison,
our pride of self the prison coat we wear. [Refrain]
4 O judge us, God, and in your judgment free us,
and set our feet in freedom's open space;
take us as far as your compassion wanders
among the children of the human race. [Refrain] Scripture: Ephesians 2:13-22 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
